SHIPS from the cholera infected ports
OF Italy continue to arrive at New York
with their cargoes OF filthy, diseased
foreigners. Some of the immigrants
were scattered throughout the country
last week, and when it was too late it
was discovered that they carried the
germs of cholera with them. The
United States authorities have taken the
matter in hand, and have been doing
what they could to stamp out probable
danger, but Congress should enact laws
restricting immigration so that such
undesirable people should be prevented
from landing in America.

NUMBER 81.
The True Southern Sentiment.


Birmingham Herald.
1t is through no cringiDg spirit,
no fawning to Northern preludices,
that the best public sentiment of
the South condemns the maIadroit
speech which Gen. Jackson make
at Macon.
The ideas to which be gave ut
terauce are not those of the leading
men or the large majority of the
people of the South. IL is ""t
through motives of party policy
that they repudiate such ideas, but
because they do not represent true
Southern sentiment.
There il nothing in the history
OF the South tor which its people
care to apologize. They are proud
of the record they made in the war,
and have sacred regard for the
memories of thaG heroic struggle.
They will, whenever it pleases
them, honor the Confederate chief
taius now living and build monu-
ments to those who are dead. But.
they accept the results of the war
and would not, if they could,
change the present conditions.
They are American citizens and
proud of the distinction. They
are patriots and would fight in de-
fense of their country to-day as
they did at Kings Mountain, be-
hind the cotton bales at New Or
leans or in the deadly ravine at
Buena Vista.
In the late war they fought for
what they thought was right, and
no one can better attest TO the fact
than their enemies in that they
fought well. But that is past, and
no man with any liberallty or
breadth of mind, be he Northern or
Southern, can attach any odium to
those who fought on either side.
Both were conscientious in what
they did.
The issues fought over were
buried out of sight by the result OF
the contest and could not be resur-
reeted. The South freely accepts
the situation and INDUCES in no
vain repining over what might
have been.
Gen. jackson, therefore, did not
represent the South when he talked
of the survival, or revival, of the
State sovereignty dogma, and he
probably stands alone III question
ing Lincoln'S right to the presidcn.
cy.
1t is suppIiant spirit that makes
the South condemn such utterances.
To be loyal citizen of the Union
as it now exists is not to be a rene
gade to the "loSt cause.o
The Southern States have equal
rights in the Union with those of
the North, and should bold to as
seIt them but there is no desire
in this section to nulify the results
of the war or the constitutional
amend ments that followed.
Gen. Jackson's speech is to be
repudiated not as an apology to
the North, not that the prospects
of the Democratic party may be
thereby improved, but because
what he said was a misrepresenta-
tion OF true Southern sentiment,

There never was sorrow,
Which knew no soothing balm;
Even-the widest tempest
Subsidies to peaceful calm.
The things that give us pleasure
May be clouded from our view;
But clouds will soon pBss over
And sunshine beam anew.
There are more joys than sorrows,
Less night than gladstone day;
Our thoughts must seek the day star
That drives the gloom away.
